SINK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,674, dated October26, 1880.

' Application filed January 10, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatwe, GEORGE HAYES and CHARLES HAYES, both residents ofthe city, county, and State of New York, haveinvented a new and usefulImprovement in Sinks for Dwellings,Hotels, Restaurants, Hospitals,Stables. Manufactories, &c., of which the following is a specification.

The nature of our invention consists of the combination, with a castiron wastewater sink, of an interior lining or bottom of perforatedsheet metal extending over the bottom of iron sinks and as far up thesides as may be most suitable, said lining or bottom conforming in sizeand shape to iron sink, and so arranged therein that a suitable space isleft between them for ready escape of fluids, and for other purposeshereinafter mentioned, also arranged so as to be readily removable, andthe same may be provided with one or more inside shelves or divisions toprovide places for soap, &c., or other purposes.

The object of our invention is to provide for the ever-ready escape ofwaste water to prevent clogging at the mouth of wastepipe, wherebycleanliness is promoted; to provide space for disinfectants withoutinterfering with the usual operations and purposes of the sink; toprovide for dish-draining, &-e., and to provide for a more extendedstraining or draining surface, obviating the necessity of any strainerat the mouth of the wastepi pe.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a sinkcontaining our improvement, a part broken away to show interior moreclearly. Fig. 2 is a vertical section. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of adouble form. Fig. 4 is a section showing how shelves may be arrangedtherein. Fig. 5 is a section showing bottom and sides corrugated.

A represents the cast-iron sink, which may be of any of the usual forms.At 13 is shown the usual outlet therefrom, being the mouth ofwaste-pipe, usually protected by strainer set in.

0 represents an interior perforated sheetmetal lining extending over thebottom of the sink, raised sufficiently therefrom to allow free passageof fluids beneath, and may be supported by legs, flanges, or any othersuitable means. 0

D represents perforated sheet-metal vertical walls attached thereto, orforming part with the aforesaid bottom, and showing how the lining maybe extended upward and to any desired height and said lining may belfung or supported thereby. This bottom or lining, with or without sidewalls, may be lifted out from the sink readily, when desired, and by anysuitable means.

Shelves may be provided, as shown in Fig. 4, to answer fordish-drainers, soap-receptaeles, or other similar purposes.

In Fig. 5 the bottom and sides are shown corrugated. Either or both maybe thus formed for the purpose of strength and to provide water-way,also as a support, obviating necessity of legs or flanges.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. As anew article of manufacture, a tray constructed of perforatedsheet metal with flat bottom and vertical sides, and of size and shapecorresponding with and adapting it to tit into a cast-iron sink.

2. In combination with a east-iron wastewater sink, a tray consisting ofbottom (I and vertical walls D, both bottom and walls constructed ofperforated sheet metal, provided with outwardly-bent flange at top ofwalls, and arranged within said east-iron sink, so that space will beleft at the sides and bottom between the tray and sink, said tray beingof size and shape corresponding to iron sink and supported therein, asherein shown and described.
